Tonight's Top Pick is 9-1-1, where the wedding of Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Chimney (Kenneth Choi) is in jeopardy. I'm sure there will also be some sort of plausible but over the top rescue scenario, cause that's kinda the point of the show.


While I lust over Ryan Guzman in (albeit dirty) pastels, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, May 2. All times are EST.
